About Session
Most finance teams have bought AI. Few can prove it changed anything. MIT found 95% of AI projects deliver no P&L impact, and the reason usually isn’t the model or the vendor. It’s the operating model underneath. Right now every vendor is crowding into the same layer of the stack, chasing productivity, while the foundational layers that actually make AI pay off go ignored. This session walks through the five-layer operating model finance needs, shows exactly where most pilots stall, and sends you home with a readiness framework, a clear view of the layer everyone is neglecting, and one question worth taking to your board.
Learning Objective
- Learn why finance’s operating model, not the AI model or vendor, decides whether AI investments pay off.- Understand the five-layer model finance needs today, and see why most pilots stall by starting at the wrong layer.
- Walk away able to place your organization on the AI maturity curve and pinpoint the layer to invest in next.
- Leave with the one question to bring to your board to prioritize that investment
